Introduction: Adult T‐cell leukemia (ATL) is a rare neoplasm of post-thymic lymphocytes observed in only 3% - 4% of patients infected with human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV-1). The exact mechanism by which HTLV-1 triggers ATL is still under investigation. HTLV‐I is endemic in specific regions of the world including Mashhad, Iran, where the present study was performed. Conclusions: We observed upper limit values of the normal range for Mg in the ATL cases which may not be neglected from a clinical point of view. The other measurements did not show a remarkable difference with normal levels.
